• Used wherever a leak-proof swivel connection is needed in pipelines or in combination with hoses to eliminate hose twisting.
• Ideal for a wide range of industries including petroleum, petrochemical, refining, mining, distilling, paint, farm irrigation and fertilizing, wastewater treatment plants, and food and beverage process equipment. Dixon® swivel joints are commonly used in blending plants, drum filling applications, fluid and dry bulk transfer, vacuum trucks, oil and gas trucks and water trucks. Larger swivels can be found in the steel industry, marine bulk transfer, and many more applications.
• Precision-machined design ensures alignment and years of trouble-free service
• O-ring dust seal protects the ball races and seals chamber from outside elements
• Radius elbow design ensures a smooth flow path
• All swivels undergo rigorous hydrostatic testing prior to shipment to ensure performance and reliability, with the exception of weld end swivels, which are prepared for customer-specific testing after installation.
Additional Options
• End configurations: male NPT, female NPT, 150# flange, TTMA flange, grooved, weld end, and others upon request.
• Seal options: nitrile rubber, FKM, PTFE, EPDM, FDA nitrile rubber, and low temperature FKM
Dixon® swivels are recommended for use at the following maximum Non-Shock Cold Working Pressures (NSCWP) provided in PSI at ambient temperature 70°F (21°C) for 1" – 24" sizes:
• See pressure rating chart on pg. 70
• Vacuum/suction see pg. 70 for details
• When using flanged ends, the pressure rating will be reduced to coincide with that of the flange being used. Carbon steel and stainless steel 150# flanges are recommended for use at 275 PSI maximum and 300# flanges at 740 PSI at ambient temperature 70°F (21°C).
• TTMA flanges are recommended for use to 150 PSI maximum at ambient temperature 70°F (21°C)
• Lubrication should be performed periodically, depending on service and operation conditions. Biannually is normally sufficient.
• All dimensions are approximate. Where critical, consult Dixon
Use with Hose
When using swivel joints to compensate for hose twist (e.g., Style 20 or Style 60), careful consideration is needed. The hose must be stiff enough to generate sufficient torque to activate the swivel before kinking occurs.
In many cases, lateral movement-induced twist can be resolved with a swivel joint (e.g., Style 40 or Style 30). If not, hose swivels may offer a solution. These non-ball bearing designs require less torque for rotation but are not intended for load-bearing applications.
It's important to note that some hoses, such as many metal hoses, may not produce enough torque to rotate even a hose swivel. On the other hand, stiffer hoses, like many armored hoses, can easily turn most swivels.
Pricing
Pricing is available upon request. Please contact Dixon for assistance with pricing and selecting the right equipment for your specific application.
Each swivel joint is custom-built to order, so returns are generally not accepted. However, return requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Approved returns will be subject to a restocking fee of 15%, along with any additional costs incurred.
S.T.A.M.P.E.D.
When fabricating and specifying assemblies ask the following questions:
Size: What is the I.D. (inside diameter)? What is the O.D. (outside diameter)? What is the overall length of the assembly required?
Temperature: What is the temperature range of the media (product) that is flowing through the assembly? What is the temperature range of the environment that surrounds the outside of the assembly?
Application: How is the assembly actually being used? Is it a pressure application? Is it a vacuum (suction) application? Is it a gravity flow application? Are there any special requirements that the assembly is expected to perform? Is the assembly being used in a horizontal or vertical position? Are there any pulsations or vibrations acting on the assembly?
Media: What is the media/material that is flowing through the assembly? Being specific is critical. Check for: Abrasive materials, chemical compatibility, etc.
Pressure: What is the maximum pressure including surges (or, maximum vacuum) that this assembly will be subjected to? Always rate the maximum working pressure of your assembly by the lowest rated component in the system.
Ends: What end connection has been requested by the user? Are they the proper fittings for the application?
Dixon: Be Safe: Any questions on application, use, or assembly, call 877.963.4966.
Color Identification
Color identification is important in manufacturing processes because it aids in quickly distinguishing differences between parts, materials, and assembly stages, thereby reducing errors and improving efficiency. At times color identification can also clarify the type of media that is flowing through a piping system. However, for the standard Dixon Swivel Joints the color or finish aids in identifying the material and seal design.
Part Number Etching Identification
Dixon Swivel Joints are etched with their unique part number for accurate identification. This practice supports quality control and inventory management. Additionally, the etched identification helps simplify maintenance and replacement, as it allows quick reference to specific parts in technical documentation and service records.

Replacement Ball Bearings for O-Ring Swivels
O-Ring Swivel Seal Replacement Procedure
NOTE: Instructions are not for assembly with spring-loaded PTFE pressure seal, consult Dixon®
1
Remove the ball retainer screws. Add a sufficient amount of solvent into each raceway to flush out the lubricant. Rotate the sleeve, catching the balls as they fall out. When all the balls have been removed, the body and sleeve can be separated. Discard old seals. Thoroughly clean the body and sleeve.
2
Install the new O-rings on the sleeve, dust seal to the rear, product (pressure) seal up front.
3
Lubricate the body and the sleeve with grease.
4
Insert the sleeve into the body, slowly rotate the sleeve while inserting into the body.
5When the sleeve is fully inserted, feed the ball bearings into the raceways while rotating the sleeve. To make space for all the balls, insert a screw driver into the raceway, while continuing to rotate the sleeve in one direction (be careful not to damage the threads). This will cause the balls to jam up, making room for the remaining balls. Now reverse rotation of sleeve and insert the remaining balls.
6
Reinstall ball retainer screws until tight. If this interferes with the smooth rotation of the ball bearings, then back off 1/8 to 1/4 turn. A thread locking sealant is recommended to prevent screws from backing off. After pressure testing, the unit is ready for installation.
Body and sleeve are matched during manufacturing. Do

Remove the ball retainer screws. Add a sufficient amount of solvent into each raceway to flush out the lubricant. Rotate the sleeve, catching the balls as they fall out. When all the balls have been removed, the body and sleeve can be separated. Discard old seals. Thoroughly clean the body, sleeve retainer, spring retainer, and springs.
2
Lubricate the body unit with a Moly lubricant or equivalent.
3
Place the assembled spring retainer unit (spring end first) into the body*. Place the set of V-rings onto the spring retainer. Be sure V-rings are installed with the sealing lips facing toward the retainer. Lubricate the body and seals with a moly lubricant or equivalent.
4
Set the dust seal into O-ring groove on the sleeve. Place the seal retainer on the sleeve with the grooved end facing the V-rings. Lubricate the sleeve with grease.
5
Insert sleeve into body, compressing swivel joint together until ball races or body and sleeve are in alignment (do not rotate either unit while compressing). Care should be taken to avoid pinching or scoring of V-rings. Drop balls into raceway holes, rotating the sleeve slowly as you load. To make space for all the balls, insert a screw driver into the raceway while continuing to rotate the sleeve in one direction (be careful not to damage the threads). This will cause the balls to jam up, making room for the remaining balls. Now reverse the rotation of the sleeve and insert the remaining balls.
6
Reinstall ball retainer screws until tight. If this interferes with the smooth rotation of the ball bearings, then back off 1/8 to 1/4 turn. A thread locking sealant is recommended to prevent screws from backing off. After pressure testing, the unit is ready for installation.
* The last coil of the springs has been upset (O.D. slightly larger). When upset end is inserted into the holes provided in the spring retainer, the springs remain secure.

Pressure Rating Chart
Spool or rotating assembly only - Pressure rating of final assembly may be derated due to end connections Swivel
* Contact Dixon for additional information
Dixon® swivels are recommended for use at the following maximum Non-Shock Cold Working Pressures (NSCWP) provided in PSI at ambient temperature 70°F (21°C) for 1" – 24" sizes:
• When using flanged ends, the pressure rating will be reduced to coincide with that of the flange being used. Carbon steel and stainless steel 150# flanges are recommended for use at 275 PSI maximum and 300# flanges at 740 PSI at ambient temperature 70°F (21°C).
• TTMA flanges are recommended for use at 150 PSI maximum at ambient temperature 70°F (21°C)
• Lubrication should be performed periodically, depending on service and operation conditions. Biannually is normally sufficient.
• All dimensions are approximate. Where critical, consult Dixon
Vacuum/Suction Applications:
Dixon O-Ring, V-Ring, and Split Flange swivel joints are rated for full vacuum service. However, distributors and end users are encouraged to consult with our factory providing detailed information about their specific application. Certain seal materials and end connections may not be compatible with vacuum service. For V-Ring swivel joints the seal orientation must be reversed for vacuum service. Standard hydrostatic testing will be performed on all swivel joints at the factory before shipping. Vacuum testing is available upon request.
